The focus of ballpark-related retail has always been Half Street, but N Street is going to be hopping as well, with these two places and when West Half and 1250 Half are completed in 2019/2020. (I'll note that the first tenant announced for West Half is The Commons, which will apparently front N Street.)

fgmtheatre says: (7/10/18 7:58 AM)I love that this building is open only a few months and they have 2 places announced, yet all of one hill south retail space has been sitting empty devoid of any potential business for over a year now.

CJBabyDaddy says: (7/10/18 8:35 AM)@ fgmtheatre: Tell OneHillSouth to drag it’s rusty butt a few blocks closer to where there will be insane levels of foot traffic 80+ times a year.

jdc says: (7/10/18 9:33 AM)Anyone have experience with Walters in terms of quality?

malatesta says: (7/10/18 10:13 AM)I mean, One Hill south is boxed in by construction on three sides, which isn't super appealing as a place to set up shop.

In the long run, OHS is a great spot for neighborhood serving retail, since 2000 or so people will be living next door once the construction is done.

RMP says: (7/10/18 10:53 AM)Mission will have paint on the walls by the time they "open". Vote Yes or no.

I agree and I Street isn't a particularly appealing pedestrian experience with all of the vehicles turning, double-parking, etc... Once construction is completed on a few of the buildings, I am sure One Hill South will be able to attract retail.

Westnorth says: (7/10/18 12:05 PM)Besides the ballpark foot traffic, this spot also benefits from having a hometown leasing team (JBG) vs. out-of-town (Related). OTOH, Related owns a few brands that it could backfill into the building if needed, including SoulCycle.

@RMP: No. They might have curtains, though.

202_cyclist says: (7/10/18 4:31 PM)Hopefully I Street will be a little less of a traffic sewer.

fgmtheatre says: (7/11/18 1:07 AM)Maybe it would be better if the city would take better job of policing the construction sites and the damage they do to the streets/neighborhood or better yet only let one major site at a time build on a block so it doesn’t become a traffic nightmare.

malatesta says: (7/11/18 7:09 AM)The choice is basically really bad construction related traffic for a year or two, or not quite as bad traffic for a decade, given the number of parcels under development

greb22 says: (7/11/18 10:33 AM)Even before all of the construction started around One hill south there wasn't any potential companies willing to lease the space.

JES says: (7/11/18 10:49 AM)One Hill South is kind of a lousy location for retail, even before any other construction started. There's no semblance of retail district and a much lower level of foot traffic up there when compared to the area 2 blocks south. They'd need a heck of an anchor tenant to draw people up there right now. I would imagine the calculus will change once the new buildings up that way fill up with people.

greb22 says: (7/11/18 11:13 AM)It's weird to me though that no other building in the area has had any problems finding someone to lease just that one.

JD says: (7/11/18 11:14 AM)I think it may also show that they are pursuing a specific type and level of retail.
